Helpful Tips On Web Video Production

When we begin with the raw footage of a web video production

, we often need to cut it up into five minute chunks. When there is a change in direction observed in the subject, I'm going to choose this moment where I start to spin. Then what we do is, using iMovie, just split the clip, just right click, so it's control click, if you're using a pad. That's just given me two clips. Then I select the second clip, so I've got this clip. I spin and down the bottom, you find your little menu, your little tool bar that you can use on the clip. When I click it, it brings up some options for me. Move that over a little bit, so it brings up all the things I can do.

I may decide I'm going to go to crop and rotation when I capture web video. So this brings up in a screen, where now you can change the image that you see, you can change the dimensions of what you've got. Now iMovie, you basically can just make it larger and smaller. There's a choice. You can say 'fit', so it will fit whatever is on the screen into the screen that you've got. If you crop it, you can see a green box that will allow us to crop it. If it's off the screen, close it down and open it back up because it should be taking up the whole screen.

Occasionally you do get glitches in iMovie but it's worth overcoming those web video production glitches for the speed at which you can move through doing the material as well.

Usually closing it down and opening it back up fixes it. It saves and renders on the fly. So you've got your clip there, so you're going to crop. So now, once I start to move it around, I get to choose, whatever is within the green box is what happens on the screen. I'm going to move in; this is where you can control your framing. I could put myself in the centre or because I'm the subject and I'm pointing in a different direction that's where I want your eye to go. I want to be like, this is the space you want to follow.

That's just an editing technique. Generally the subject will be on one side, dictating where the eye should be going. Then you can have a test, see if you like it. I'm going to leave it like that and click 'done.'

I didn't edit on the cut, I should have been editing there. Now you can make adjustments with your web video production. Where I want this to start I control click. Go to trim to selection. It's going to cut. I want to get more precise at where I want to make that cut because it wasn't very clean. It had me standing there and all of a sudden I was moving, so I want to get a flow moving it. Now I want to be cutting it in a different place. So go control, split my clip, go back to this clip, go to crop, set what my crop is, that's where I want it, give it a little test.
